I'm building from makegdal80.sln.  I'm also starting my debug sessions
from this same solution.  I'm getting symbols in gdal15.dll and the
.pdb file, but I still can't set a break point anywhere.  It's like
the debug symbols don't map correctly to the source code.

I'm wondering if there is some flag in the makefile options that is
not being set, so the program debug information is incomplete?  I am
able to set a break point in my dll that calls gdal, but not anywhere
in the gdal methods.  Again, this is all in VS 2005.  I'll post an
answer here if I figure out the problem before I give up, but if
anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate it.
